Chapter 6 300 taels of silver
More than a month later, Liu Quan came back with 50 taels of silver in his pocket.
50 taels of silver, which is an astronomical amount for adults who are rare to see even half a cent on weekdays.
Thinking about it in the near future, don't say dozens of taels, even if it is hundreds of taels, thousands of taels, and adults if they can raise their eyelids and take a look. However, those are all afterthoughts, and even the adults themselves did not expect that they would be able to have so much money in the future.
That's the richest man in the world!
He took the money, and without saying a word, he took his younger brother and walked into the tailor's shop. He wants to make two decent new clothes, and he can't say anything that can no longer be looked down upon by those second-generation officials, and he wants to live the same life as those children of the Eight Banners.
However, when he walked out of the tailor's shop, he touched his pocket again, and the dozens of taels of snowflake silver were gone.
There was not a single child left.
And the adults shook their heads for a while: Nothing has been done yet, it's just gone?! This money can't help but be spent!
"Liu Quan, go ask for three hundred taels again!" I tasted the sweetness with the adults, and casually commanded.
Liu Quan's old face turned green all of a sudden: Do you know where this money came from? That's the minion's dead skin, using the strength of the locust, the tenacity of the cowhide, the aggressiveness of the wild horse, and the ruthlessness of the moth as if it were dead, so I forced it to help you! Do you think your grandfather's hair is so easy to pluck?!
But people are masters, and they are slaves. If the master commands him to come down, he will have trouble going up; There is no difficulty, and there is also a difficulty in manufacturing! Liu Quan shook his head helplessly and set out on the way home again. The results can be imagined. This time, Liu Quan returned empty-handed.
"Am I the bank?! Are you really using me as an ATM?! Jia Mo scolded Liu Quan back with a word.
and the adult brothers have just redeemed some dignity with those two new sets of clothes at school, and they are on the rise. Now that the money is not coming, I am not calm with adults. I immediately asked the reason and decided to go to Jiamo in person.
Broke bones and tendons. How can I say that I am also your daughter's biological son, just at your dead daughter, why don't you give me two dollars to spend!
However, reality slapped the adult hard again. He didn't expect that his grandfather was an iron rooster who couldn't pull out a hair!
"You don't know how to learn anything, what is wrong with learning something in the capital, how do you spend money on optics?! You have lost all the property left by your Lao Tzu, why, are you thinking about me again?! Do you want to lose my family business as well?! Gem reprimanded loudly, completely ignoring the fatigue of his thousand-mile journey.
"Grandpa, where did I squander my money?! I thought you would be able to take care of us for my dead mother's sake. But who knew that you didn't care about us at all, and didn't care about our life or death! He said angrily.
"You loser! Do you dare to talk back to me?! See if I don't pick you up and go to 'justice'......" Gem said loudly.
'Justice'?! These two words really have something to say. According to the law of the Qing Dynasty at that time: the banner man was not allowed to go out without authorization, and the slave of the banner man was not allowed to leave his master without authorization. In order to beg for money, he left the capital without permission, and he has already violated the law, and he can take it to the yamen at any time to bring it to justice.
However, just when the grandparents and grandchildren blew their beards and stared at each other, and were about to collapse, a person stood up.
This person's name is Guo Dachang. There are still records of him in history. His file is also very simple: Guo Dachang, male, Han nationality, from Huai'an, Jiangsu, born in 1741, died in 1815, at the age of 74.
In the twenty-second year of Qianlong (1757), he worked as a writer in the Jiangnan River Reservoir Road, and was later invited by Huaiyang Dao (and the grandfather of the adult) to be a staff member.
This person has been studying river affairs for a long time and is familiar with river engineering technology, and is known as the 'old dam worker'. All his life, he was 'clumsy in words and clumsy', and his temperament was upright. He was rejected and attacked by river officials, and he was never reused, and he was forced to resign later.
Actually, he shouldn't have had anything to do with adults. But on that day, he stood up and left a strong mark on history.
"My lord, I have something I want to talk to you about privately."
Jia Mo glanced at Guo Dachang and knew that this person had a unique vision and was quite insightful, so he reluctantly left his seat and came to the back hall.
"What's the matter, you can tell it!" Jia Mo was not angry.
His uncompetitive grandson really made him angry enough.
"My lord, in my humble opinion, the adult should still take these three hundred taels .......," Guo Dachang said carefully.
It turned out that he had seen the difference from adults early on: although this person was young, he was quite courageous; And being able to be admitted to Xian'an Palace without relying on any external force alone, relying on his true talent and learning, is enough to see that he is extremely smart and smart.
It is a matter of time before this person rises to prominence and soars. Now we give him some benefits, and maybe in the future we will be able to climb it. If you offend at this time, I don't know if you will set up a great enemy for yourself in the future.
Jia Mo hesitated for a moment, but finally reluctantly gave the 300 taels to his grandson. A few years later, Jia Mo once issued such an emotion: Dachang's sentence is a thousand words!
He reached out and took his grandfather's 300 taels of silver, however, to his surprise, Guo Dachang actually paid out of his own pocket and gave him another 300 taels.
What's this singing again?!
Guo Dachang's explanation is very simple: I'm optimistic about you!
I asked for 600 taels of silver from the adults, so it stands to reason that I should be very happy. But sitting in the carriage home, I couldn't be happy with the adults anyway.
Although Jia Mo gave him 300 taels of silver, Jia Mo's disgusted eyes were also stuffed into his hand. And adults suddenly realized that they were so stupid, so humble, so helpless.
Why should I be looked down upon?!
Why should I be bullied?!
No, absolutely not!
I'm going to resist, I'm going to fight!
I'm going to be like a petrel, battling the storm!
I want to be like an eagle that takes his life to the sky.
After returning to the capital, he learned from the pain, dispelled his naïve idea of comparing himself with the second generation of officials at that time, and began to willingly become a real poor student. plunged headlong into the ocean of knowledge, greedily absorbing the broad and profound Chinese culture.
He firmly believes that if he is bald, he will shine sooner or later. As long as you have real talent and real learning, you are not afraid of being buried. Sooner or later, one day, there will be a Bole who will throw an olive branch to him, so that he will be a blockbuster and get ahead.
Soon, the man appeared.
He was Yuan Mei, who was famous at that time and was known as one of the 'Three Great Masters of Qianlong'.
